Thanks to everyone who came to our NYE Special at Maidenbrook Park today. We had lovely weather and everyone had a fun time. Congratulations to our winners and well done to those seniors who also ran the junior course.
The final scores and answers have been released and are available here. We still have some maps with answers that will be waiting for their owners at our next event (North Petherton SS). Happy New Year from all of us at QO and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
